Letters to the Editor for May 28
Disaster in the makingI’m a Democrat who’s been living in Tucson for the past 21 years. I’ve said for years we need a border wall and the only way people should be able to immigrate is through proper gateways and processes. It’s really not rocket science, is it?
Similarly, if I were asked, “Why do you want to tax the rich?” My answer would be, “because that’s where the money is.” I think it’s also both funny and true, and it is funny because it is so obviously true. This is a totally absurd “two-step dance” designed to make Congress look fiscally responsible, the President look bad, and stoke fear in those who rely on Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP, military pay, and Veterans Benefits. All the while, members of Congress collect their $174,000 salary, healthcare, pharmacy, and gym benefits while ranting about how wonderful they are in front of the cameras.Writers strikeI recently walked the strike line with my son, Joe, a screenwriter in L.A.
This lack of transparency without public engagement reminds me of another Ward 1 back-room deal, the 2013 proposed sale of El Rio Golf Course to Grand Canyon University at below market price.
